Here's the presentation drawing for the desk. Our client wanted us to duplicate the design of a Danish Mid-Century desk they'd come across.
The wood for this project, reclaimed Ash was supplied by them. Sometimes we're presented with something very special. A couple of planks had some unique and interesting grain. So we saved them for the top. Then as serendipity does...our client requested we use pure Gilsonite as the stain. It's the best looking earth toned stain we've every used. Amazing range, super intense and it heightens everything it touches. After 4 coats of pure tung oil, the completed finish looked akin to moire' silk!
Rear view of the desk. Except for the maple drawer boxes, all other components are the solid reclaimed Ash our client's provided.
Nearly complete! The blue painters tape on the drawers is used while the client searches for a specific pull they have in mind.
